[GWX 2.1] Flickering Sun & Moon

Myxale · 04-21-08, 01:04 PM

The flickering of sun and moon and sometimes the horizon...is because of the Graphic Card. I had this on and off in my SH3 gaming.

Probably drivers!:hmm:

That's a bitch. The drivers I'm using at the moment have been the most stable of the ones I've tried so far. I'm really hoping it isn't this. Otherwise, it's back to the lab...

Tinker around with the AA & AF settings! Maybe you'll find your golden middle!:hmm:

Fixed in OLCE2.
It's a stock bug (at least, I had it since stock) but I think it only affects certain graphics cards.

I've had the same flickering sun & moon isssue too. Been that way since stock SH3. Don't know what causes it or how to get rid of it for good. Geforce FX 7300 LE.

Hi all

Murr44, If you read OLC 's last post, he states exactly what fixes the problem for good

Im sure you just missed it. OLC's work is truly great stuff. Im a big fan.

Cheers

From what I understand that mod contains a 15-km atmosphere, which would probably tax my graphics card considerably & getting a newer one really isn't an option as it would void my pc's warranty (plus there is the cash flow problem to consider, eg: I ain't made of money). I fell into the "get a better video card" trap with my old pc & it turned out to be a big waste of money.

The "better"

card that I bought was overpriced & didn't improve my gaming experience by very much.

I'm sure that it's a great mod but is there a way to fix the issue without it?
